Mark Glickman's Statistical Consulting Page

For the past 15 years, I have been involved in a large variety of short-term statistical consulting projects in addition to my academic work. I find this type of work enjoyable in a different sort of way than academic projects - consulting work tends to be more contained, it usually has the challenge of more urgent deadlines, and it often requires creative thinking in order to produce real-time results. Below I list a sampling of projects in which I have been involved over the years. Please consult my curriculum vitae for my educational background, publications, and presentations.

If you would like to discuss the possibility of hiring me for a short-term consult, please feel free to contact me by e-mail at mg-at-bu-dot-edu, or by phone at (781) 687-2875.
